6464Is Design Your Career or your Hobby? - Comment by Bethany Heck

@Virgil Pana I've definitely known graphic designers who peaked out at that salary.

@Mike Hagan But a lot of designers in more traditional design programs are still stuck in that "Graphic Designer" arena and by the time they figure out it has less career potential they can't easily transition into new mediums. I even get side eye when I describe myself as an interactive, web, or UX designer, because people see my other work and assume that's all I can do.

Hey folks, I've been working on a piece about the design industry and where it's failing designers, and things young designers often forget to consider on job hunts. One of the arguments I try to make is to stop thinking about design work as a hobby and start thinking about it as your career. I hope you'll read it, and I hope it's useful information and a fun read . Spoiler alert: the phrase "polishing a turd" makes an appearance!

Trying to get all this into a project folder since I'm all legit and Dribbble Pro now. The most fun part of this project was trying to take some swiss influence and mix it in with all the techie designer-y bits.
